The BLB2000 and the BV32 is connected by each their own 1611.

only ONE converter 1611 should be used in a system, the ML cables should be distributed by a junctinon box,
preferably the large version B&O ItemNr 3375189
or, if you prefer factory made standard ML cables by a ML distributor box B&O ItemNr  3634001  

Room with tv and beomaster:

1) Beomaster 4500 sw 2.1 two way

2) 4500 CD player

3) 2 Beolab cx 100 connected to avtive output socket in Beomaster 4500

4) Beovision 7-32 with no dedicated speaker of any kind - the concept was to be able to afford the  Bv7-32 without the very expensive 7-1 or 7-4 and then use the Beomaster deliver sound through its speaker

5) All link speakers are ir-wise lighttyear away

Only - I have tried 20 other combinations - option combination that gives me tv sound is BM4500 AND tv in option 2

Thank you very much for your help, Peter. Sorry for being so difficult. You must be giggeling thinking "this is why b&o is for men and not female nurses". But thanks for your time - greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Dear Vienna

Interesting! According to the ML-handbook it is no problem. And the are parallel connected to the datalink connection.

Anyway - I followed your advice and removed the other 1611 to check. unfortunately it did not solve the problem. But I would be very interested in a link to your information so I also can learn

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

1611 ... complex and "non standard" setups should allways be kept as simple as possible, especially during testing ...

on the assumption that:

- your BM 4500 is in A.Opt 2
- no further IR reciver in your main room exept the ones in the TV and the BM
  (your Set Top Box is also operated/controlled via the IR of the BV !)

Try to set your BV 7-32 to V.Opt 4 - "Link Option"
(recent TVs offer this option - but I'm not shure if the Mk1 already supports it)

If your BV confirms by a twinkle of its LED - BINGO!link

Result should be:
pressing command "LINK" followed by a button for "any video source" for turning on / off
and changing the source should to get the picture -

pressing the button for "any video source" on your Beo4 should bring the sound to your
speakers and "step" or "numbers" should change the channels ...

Dear Vienna

Great idea. I tried it out. I could change the BV to option 4, but it did not respond accordingly (it is a mk1) - I tried with a Beo4 and Beolink 1000, but alas.

However, good thinking - if I could make it work like that I would be very happy.

Kind regards

Dear Vienna

"(your Set Top Box is also operated/controlled via the IR of the BV !)" - my STB is a Triax 409 which has its own IR-eye which does not receives commands from the BV as it is not supported by the BV. The STB controlles the BV via a Scart cable.

Just ran your system through the Product Configuration Guide. It suggests option 1 for both the 4500 and BV7. You would then use the AV button to get TV sound. Have you downloaded the

dear peter

yes, i have the guide and followed its direction (as my first attempt in vain)

but thank you for trying

best regards

Dear Louise

at the moment, as Peter mentioned V.Opt 1 / A.Opt 1 and pressing "AV" to get the sound is the only solution

But, having to press "AV" all the time cannot be regarded as satisfactory solution anyway ... 

The only "nice to operate" configuration will be: get a second hand MCL2P Poweramp, a ML/MCL-Converter or a ML-Passive, connect it through a fully mounted PL-Cable to your TV and connect your CXs to the Amp.

Just tried it. No sound. Not even if I manually pressed aux on the Beomaster4500.

But thank you for still trying to help me.
